China's Einstein Probe Captures X-ray Images of Full Moon During Mid-Autumn Festival
Sep 18, 2024, 04:09 AM
China's Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope has successfully captured and transmitted X-ray images of the full moon, marking a significant achievement for Chinese scientists. The images were captured by the Fengxingtian X-ray telescope (FXT) aboard the EP satellite. This event represents the first time Chinese scientists have obtained a comprehensive X-ray scan of the moon using an independently developed space telescope. The images were sent back to Earth on Tuesday, coinciding with the Mid-Autumn Festival and the PRC75thAnniv.
